If the first level is above 125 mg/dL, the fasting blood glucose test will be done again (for example, the next day) to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes. A value between 100 and 125 mg/dL indicates pre-diabetes.
Parakeets at Petco, for instance, retail for about $5 to $29, depending on the time of year and species you adopt. For example, a normal scarlet chested parakeet can cost anywhere from $125 to $600, while a rosy Bourke can cost anywhere from $75 to $110; a Rubino female can cost upwards of $800. With so many species on the market, refer to our table below to see what the most popular types cost.
Answers. 1  Your parakeet can live just as long as your other pets! With proper nutrition and veterinary care, the parakeet life span can exceed 15 years with reports of the oldest parakeet being 20 years old! Just like any other pet, the length of the life span of parakeets depends on how you feed and care for him. First of all, make sure you get a veterinarian that specializes in birds. That way you know he will be up to date on all the latest treatments and know what to look for.
